Preppers Episode 2: The End of the World As We Know It
Manage episode 435818611 series 2979484
The Earth is cracking under the weight of our expectations, with growth held up as the economic north star. Meanwhile, wildlife populations are collapsing, the ocean is acidifying, and carbon emissions are still increasing. Despite everything we know about what’s wrong and what to do about it, we cling to our current way of life.
Civilizations have collapsed before. Could it be happening again? And if it is, what can we be doing to prepare for it?
